Before dawn in the early morning, Ning Lan went out to take her mother and sister to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
He hadn't slept all night, had a splitting headache, fell asleep in a taxi, and woke up after several calls from the driver.
Sui Yi didn't return overnight. He clutched his mobile phone and wondered if he should call him. Zhao Jinshan saw that he was restless, so she approached and asked, "Do you want to call that Zhouzhou?"
Ning Lan guessed that Lu Xiaozhou's story was told to Sui Yi by her mother. He had a criminal record, and it was not unusual for Sui Yi to think wrongly.
Ning Xuan next to her heard them talking and came over and asked shyly, "Brother, why didn't that little brother come yesterday?"
"He's busy." Ning Lan said lightly.
Ning Xuan pursed her lips and tugged at her new hair in disappointment.
After ten o'clock in the morning, the temperature rose, and the two women couldn't bear the sun. They found a photo studio next to the tourist attraction, and each chose a set of antique art photos.
Ning Lan sat and showed them their bags, rubbing her sore ankles and starting to settle accounts again.
The previous insurance compensation plus the remuneration for "Overturning the Country" is getting closer and closer to that amount. After all, the last video incident involved Sui Yi. He is the ace of Starlight Entertainment in the future. Zhang Fan's tongue is so bright that he persuaded the company's executives to come forward and take most of the responsibility, so there are not many who really let Ning Lan carry the upper body.
His only request was not to let Sui Yi know, Zhang Fan hesitated, but finally agreed.
Ning Lan counted with her fingers, the revenue commission from the concert will be distributed immediately, and a new single will be released next month, and she will get another wave of shares. By then, it will probably be almost the same.
Thinking of this, Ning Lan was rarely in a relaxed mood. Zhao Jinshan asked for another set of clothes, but he did not refuse.
Ning Xuan was taking pictures in the shed. Zhao Jinshan wore a wide robe and large sleeves Hanfu and displayed it in a circle in front of Ning Lan. Asking him if he looked good, Ning Lan gave the first smile of the day: "Good-looking."
Zhao Jinshan squeezed to sit beside him and said, "Is your son in a good mood? What good things are there? Tell me to make my mother happy together?"
Ning Lan shook her head and said no, Zhao Jinshan didn't ask any further, and changed the subject: "By the way, what was the name of that handsome guy yesterday?"
Ning Lan ignored her and unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water.
"Isn't it the rich second generation? There are quite a few rich second generation in your group? If you don't have a target, you can introduce it to Ning Xuan, so that the little girl will not worry about your money all day long."
Ning Lan twisted the bottle cap back and said, "He has a partner."
Zhao Jinshan observed Ning Lan's expression, rolled her eyes, and asked, "He can't be yours... that one?"
"Which one?"
Zhao Jinshan covered half of her mouth and lowered her voice: "That's it, that, the gold master."
Ning Lan's eyelids jumped, and she said decisively, "No, don't guess."
Zhao Jinshan caught the panic and nervousness in his eyes, and immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, you are my son, I know what you want to do when you raise your eyebrows." Turning to brows, she said, "I thought the other party was a What about the old man who is over half a hundred years old, I didn't expect my son to be so good at hooking up with such a young man, you have to hold on tight, and while he still likes you, hurry up and force him to get the certificate..."
Ning Lan couldn't listen anymore, so she stood up and said, "If you say no, I'll leave if you talk nonsense, and you will pay for it yourself."
Zhao Jinshan hurriedly pulled him to sit down: "Okay, it's okay, it's not okay, why are you so angry? Everyone around is watching."
Throughout the day, Ning Lan's eyelids kept twitching, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.
After playing until evening, Ning Xuan said she was going to eat at a well-reviewed restaurant in the capital. The place was a bit out of the way. The three of them took a taxi to go there. I didn't expect there were quite a lot of people. They waited at the door for more than half an hour before it was their turn.
The waiter led them in. The restaurant was decorated in a simple way, with semi-open cubicles inside. Ning Lan came here for the first time, but she didn't care about looking around, she just wanted to finish eating and leave.
Walking through the corridor and entering the hall, Zhao Jinshan suddenly pulled Ning Lan: "Hey son, is that your teammate, the one from yesterday?"
Ning Lan looked up in the direction she was pointing, wasn't it Sui Yi, he was sitting outside the box, and there was another person on the inside, half of his body was blocked by the curtain, so he couldn't see his face.
Ning Xuan was also pleasantly surprised, "Yeah, it's him. Shall we go over and say hello?"
Ning Lan ignored it and followed the waiter to the empty table to sit down.
Zhao Jinshan still looked over there reluctantly, and asked the waiter when ordering food, "Can we share tables here? There are acquaintances over there."
The waiter was embarrassed to say that there is no bigger box in the store, so Zhao Jinshan gave up angrily.
Ning Xuan ordered a table of dishes, but didn't eat a few bites. She kept looking at Sui Yi. After a while, she picked up the phone and didn't know who to send a message to. Then she continued to look over there.
On the other side of the restaurant, Sui Yi's mobile phone in his pocket kept vibrating, and the teacher sitting opposite heard the movement and said, "Look who it is, what if there is an emergency?"
Sui Yi came out today to get the piano that the teacher re-selected for him. Since he has promised his father to resume music, he can't be without a weapon. Before, he had been worried that the teacher would let him go back to get the piano, but fortunately, the teacher took the initiative to make an appointment outside, which prevented him from meeting with his father, and made the atmosphere tense.
As soon as the teacher sat down, he took out the violin and showed it to him. It was an old European violin. The texture of the wood and the texture of the paint were all excellent. The teacher had fixed the strings for him, and he stroked it with his fingers. He plucked the A string, and the sound was mellow and sweet, even better than the one he had dropped before.
He didn't show his liking on his face, and arrogantly asked the teacher how much it was. The teacher smiled and said no, but he insisted on giving it. The teacher knew that he had strong self-esteem, so he had no choice but to report the number. give him.
The master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was a huge heart knot in the middle.
At this moment, Sui Yi took out her phone, glanced at the rows of messages on the screen, then turned her head to look out, and saw Ning Xuan who was waving at him, and Ning Lan who was sitting across from her, engrossed in eating.
Every dish of Japanese food is relatively small. Zhao Jinshan said that it was uncomfortable to eat this sweet or salty food, so she simply put down her chopsticks and played with her mobile phone. Ning Lan was also not used to the taste, but she thought that these dishes were often three-digit numbers a plate, and the meat was so painful that she gritted her teeth and stuffed it into her mouth.
When eating sashimi, there was so much mustard that tears came out of her choking. Ning Lan hurriedly covered her mouth and nose to go to the bathroom.
All this fell into Sui Yi's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed.
The restaurant was unusually quiet. Ning Lan didn't dare to cough loudly until she went to the pool. She patted her chest, which was aching from coughing, and turned on the faucet to rinse her face with cold water.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw a person standing behind him in the mirror.
The first thing Sui Yi noticed was that what Ning Lan had been wearing on her wrist was missing.
The vague sound of beads falling on the ground echoed in his ears, and he suddenly remembered that the bracelet seemed to be broken yesterday, and the beads were all scattered. He wondered if he could string it back.
He was actually a little regretful. Ning Lan finally begged him not to leave, and his voice was full of tears. Maybe he should listen to what he wants to say, even if it's all made up, it's all a lie, it's better than being sullen by himself, driving around the city ring highway, and finally sleeping in the car all night.
Ning Lan turned around, wiped his face with a few pieces of paper, and said, "Captain is eating here too."
The state is natural, as if nothing happened yesterday.
Whitewashing Taiping is one of his usual tricks. Sui Yi used to think that there is nothing wrong with being so heartless, but today he is a little irritable.
When he asked the teacher about the price of the piano just now, he thought of Ning Lan's "pretentious calculation" last night. From another perspective, a new interpretation occurred by chance - would Ning Lan be the same as him, but also because of self-esteem and because he didn't want to be looked down upon.
"Yeah." Sui Yi responded, "Are you bringing your aunt to dinner?"
Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about who "Auntie" was. After reacting, she nodded, wiped her hands with a tissue that wiped her face, and then threw it in a ball into the trash: "Then I'll go out first, my mother. waiting for me."
Sui Yi also washed his hands and stayed in the bathroom for a while before going out. When he approached the seat, the first thing that entered his ears was a loud noise that was very inconsistent with the quiet and elegant atmosphere.
"Mr. Fang, right? We'll be relatives soon, and we'll be walking around a lot in the future. Come, use tea instead of wine, we're done!"
When I approached, I found that Ning Lan's mother ran to them at some point, sitting next to the teacher holding a cup and inviting him to drink.
Ning Lan's face was ashen, she grabbed her arm and told her to go back. Zhao Jinshan was excited, she touched the cup on the table with her teacher, and when she saw Sui Yi coming, she beckoned him to sit.
"Xiao Sui, right? Come and sit quickly. Yesterday, my aunt didn't know about your relationship with our family Lanlan, so what did you say? Oh yes, I'm neglected, and my aunt punished herself with a cup to compensate you."
Seeing that she was about to drink, Ning Lan snatched the cup from her hand, raised her head and drank, and then slapped the cup on the table.
All the people around were stunned, and the guests at other tables also followed the movement and stuck their heads out to watch the excitement.
Zhao Jinshan was a little afraid of her son now, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, she stood up cowardly, and pulled Ning Xuan to run to her desk, completely losing her arrogance.
Ning Lan hadn't made such a big fire in a long time, and the sound of her heartbeat made her eardrums thump.
He bowed to the teacher: "I'm sorry for disturbing you." Then he swallowed hard and said, "He and I are teammates and have nothing to do with anything else."
On the way to take the teacher back, Sui Yi looked ahead, at the road with endless traffic, without saying a word.
The teacher took the initiative to break the silence: "Speaking of which, this is my first time in your car."
When Sui Yi got his driver's license, he was no longer at home. "This is the car my mom left for me," he said.
The smile on the teacher's face did not fade at all: "No wonder, your mother is devoted to you, and she is not afraid that you will be remembered for driving such a good car."
These words were clearly alluding to the reason for the farce just now. Sui Yi pursed his lips and said, "I have my senses."
The teacher nodded: "your father is always worried that you are joking, and he doesn't know when you will be able to play enough. I don't think like him, the road is your own, we can only give advice, not control, Without taking a few detours, it cannot be considered a complete life.”
When he got there, Sui Yi refused the teacher's invitation to let him go home and sit. The teacher went to the back seat to open the piano case, stroked the beautiful piano for the last time, and sighed, "If you don't like it in your heart, I'll be there for you. I gave up the idea of continuing to teach you when I was old. If you really like it, don't hide it, and don't change your mind for anyone or anything."
Sui Yi always felt that his preaching had a deeper meaning, and said impatiently, "I don't like him."
The teacher laughed. The man in his early 40s smiled as softly and genially as when he was young. He comforted Sui Yi like a child and said, "It's fine, I don't like it, no one likes it."
Sui Yi returned to the dormitory with a sullen stomach. Ning Lan held his antique mobile phone and pressed the calculator again. After ten minutes, he finally took the initiative to speak to him: "I'm sorry today, my mother made a mistake, I've been fine. I told her, I won't do it again."
Sui Yi was waiting for him to give in to himself, and he said "it's fine", and felt that the words "wrong" sounded awkward.
wrong? Not him, could it be Lu Xiaozhou
He learned the lesson from yesterday, calmed down, and changed the subject: "Where's the new phone?"
Ning Lan gave an "ah" and said, "I have already taken it apart, can't I go back?"
Still want to go back? Sui Yi said angrily, "Why don't you use it when you take it apart?"
Ning Lan scratched his head: "There is no more traffic."
This reason couldn't be more lame. Sui Yi felt that Ning Lan was so good at lying now that he didn't even type drafts.
In the blink of an eye, in October, Sui Yi waited and waited, but he didn't see Ning Lan put on the mobile phone he gave, and silently charged him a bunch of data packets. Ning Lan held the mobile phone and asked around who was charging him the data. , he did not stand up to answer.
In the evening, after the two were on the bed, Sui Yi finally couldn't hold back and asked him, "Do you like it?"
Ning Lan's limp arm lay across his waist, too tired to open his eyes: "What do you like?"
"cell phone."
"Ah... You charge the traffic." Ning Lan chuckled and said, "I like it."
The rising tail sound unprovoked with a seductive taste, Sui Yi turned sideways, raised his hand to touch the mole at the corner of his eye, and let his eyelashes brush his fingertips lightly.
He didn't know whether this impulse was a reaction that would occur after the fusion of the body. In short, before the balance between reason and emotion was found, he blurted out: "Do you like me?"
He was still haunted by what Ning Lan said in the restaurant that day, "there is no other relationship". They're doing the most intimate thing in the world, how can it not matter
Ning Lan's eyelids trembled a few times, and she opened her eyes, all the sleepiness dissipated.
He turned his head to the side, and his black eyes stared straight at the handsome face with sharp edges and corners in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave his unique facial features and every inch of skin in his mind, which would never be erased.
He raised his hand and stopped when he was about to touch Sui Yi's face, and then when he put it down, it seemed that something was temporarily peeled from his body.
Ning Lan opened the corner of her mouth and smiled: "I don't like it, I don't like you."
